- Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?
- Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics?

Tone and Balance
editGuiding questions:
- Is the content added neutral?
- Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
- Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
- Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?
Tone and balance evaluation
editThe content added has a neutral tone. There are not any claims that are biased towards a particular position. All viewpoints are balanced and would not attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another.
Sources and References

- Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
- Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
- Are the sources current?
- Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible?
- Check a few links. Do they work?
Sources and references evaluation
editAll new content is backed up by a reliable secondary source. The sources are thorough and reflect the topic of piracy in the Caribbean. The links work.

editGuiding questions:
- Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
- Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors?
- Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?
Organization evaluation
editThe content is well-written and easy to read. I do not see any grammatical or spelling errors. I do see words bolded but I am assuming this group is still editing those bolded pieces. Everything is well organized.
Images and Media
editGuiding questions: If your peer added images or media
- Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
- Are images well-captioned?
- Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
- Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?
Images and media evaluation
editThe images included are a good amount to enhance the understanding of the article's topic. All images are well-captioned and laid out in a visually appealing way. None of the images violate the copyright regulations.
For New Articles Only
editIf the draft you're reviewing is a new article, consider the following in addition to the above.
- Does the article meet Wikipedia's Notability requirements - i.e. Is the article supported by 2-3 reliable secondary sources independent of the subject?
- How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject?
- Does the article follow the patterns of other similar articles - i.e. contain any necessary infoboxes, section headings, and any other features contained within similar articles?
- Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable?
New Article Evaluation
editThe new article meets the Nobility requirements. The list of sources is just right and accurately represents all available literature on the subject of piracy in the Caribbean.
Overall impressions
editGuiding questions:
- Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete?
- What are the strengths of the content added?
- How can the content added be improved?
Overall evaluation
editOverall, the Sandbox article draft is in its works. Every source works and anything that needs to be cited is. The sources' links work and grammar is perfect. The article is neutral and does not make me favor a specific idea. I see that the draft is also waiting to be cleaned up in terms of font and size. The article is more complete and improved.
